Inspired by the linked XKCD. Using 60% instead of 50% because that's an easy filter to apply on rottentomatoes.

I'll go first: I think "Sherlock Holmes: A game of Shadows" was awesome, from the plot to the characters ,and especially how they used screen-play to highlight how Sherlocks head works in these absurd ways.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Sure it's campy and way over the top. But I kinda like it for that. Plus the characters are awesome, the designs were pretty cool, and Sean Connery was great. Currently at 17% on rt.

How in the world is that 17%? TIL I also like unpopular movies.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Connery literally retired because of it lol

Turned down Gandalf to do that. Hilarious.

[–] khan_shot_1st@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Audience score is 44%. So that's better, still pretty unpopular, lol.

Okay, it's not a great movie, but it's definitely fun enough to warrant more than a 17%

I genuinely loved that movie. Watched it as a kid, got the DVD as I got older, downloaded the torrent when I was in college, watched it with friends for movie nights.

I had no idea it was supposed to be bad! I loved the weird fusion of camp, bizarre situations, and genuine action. Although I did have to chuckle at one of the reviews criticizing its CGI, written twelve years after the movie came out.

It was great up until the last 15 minutes, I remember. And it was beautifully artful. But I was a bit colored by the comics, the villain and his motives was just so much better there.

Dammit, you can't submerge the Nautilus in Venice's Grand Canal! It's only a few meters deep!
